"This spinout could have been deadly for Deputy Fabry, or for [the people traveling in] an oncoming vehicle," the sheriff's office said Tuesday. "Thankfully, no one was struck or injured, but this video serves as a great example of people driving too fast for conditions and putting the life of a deputy at great risk."

Officials said the incident was an "all too comment event," and that it serves as an example of people driving too fast in poor conditions.
